I will be receiving a eye correction surgery soon.I think it called strabismus surgery, and I just had a few questions 1. How long does it take? 2. How long does it take for someone to recover? 3. I am going to be awake during the surgery or on anaesthesia? 4. Are both eyes receiving surgery the same day because I have a second appointment a few weeks after the first one?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Strabismus surgery or often known as eye muscle surgery is a type of corrective procedure for eye misalignment (known as strabismus). The weak functioning of the eye muscles results in eye misalignment as the people experiencing strabismus find difficulty in controlling their eye movement. As a result, one eye may be focused directly on an object, but the other may look in a completely opposite or different direction.
